Nov, 10 2015

~It’s autumn time and soon it will be winter, the seasons of which usually bring their fair share of bustling winds, howling gales, snow blizzards, torrential rain and hail stones to boot.

There is however one artist whose song epitomises such difficult seasons and the good news is he’ll be coming to the North West in the Spring ( a brighter month ) 2016!J

Billy Ocean is the biggest black recording star Britain has ever produced. Knocking up a mighty 30 million records throughout his life. Gold and platinum selling records are a testament to his longevity and excellent song writing skills.

His most renowned song is the hit record ‘When the Going Gets Tough’ and no doubt we’ll all be singing that when we put on our gloves, scarves and coats this coming winter.

The song is 30 years old next year and what better way to celebrate then by going on tour to herald this classic single. If you are a fan of the singer then you may want to note this date for your diary. He is appearing at the Blackburn King Georges Hall on Saturday 30th April 2016 at 7pm. Tickets are priced between £29 and £25 they are on sale now and they can be purchased by contacting the box office on 01254 582579 or for more information you can email events@kinggeorgeshall.com

If your unfamiliar with the area you can locate it on your sat nav with the directions :- King Georges Hall, Northgate, Blackburn, Lancashire, BB2, 1AA. Additionally, you may want to explore Blakey’s restaurant round the corner for a meal with friends or loved ones prior to the concert.

From the words of  the great man himself, he sees the powerful influence his music can have on his fans and the respect and appreciation he receives every time he gets up on the stage to perform the classics,

“And you realise you're doing a public service in making people happy - as a musician you can give people something a doctor, a lawyer, a politician cannot give them that. It's not scientific. It's spiritual - a good feeling. And although you don't know them personally, the audience are like your friends.”

Catch Billy live at the King Georges next April, 2016:)
